Here’s why you need to check into this utterly blissful spa at Fairmont Riyadh
Get your zen on…
Name a better feeling than slipping into a white robe and slippers, switching off your phone, and having your troubles massaged away before taking a dip in the pool?
Whether you choose to spa solo for some tranquil solitude or with a group of friends for a pamper together, the perfect way to zen out is by heading to the Fairmont Spa at Fairmont Riyadh.
So, get ready to melt – as well as scrub, buff, and steam – away a hectic Riyadh day.
A renewed spa experience awaits
Fairmont Spa has teamed up with Thalion, a leader in marine-inspired wellness, and its suite of bespoke therapies is worth it… and so are you. The treatments are top-notch, and we highly recommend the Revitalising Massage, which delivers deep muscular relief through soothing techniques, or the Ocean Bliss Massage, which blends gentle exfoliation and hypnotic slow strokes to create an immersive sensory journey. You’ll leave with a sense of lightness.
Particularly impressive is the Escape Rejuvenation Journey, an indulgent 150-minute experience that combines a velvety marine magnesium scrub with advanced mask technology to leave the skin radiant and revitalised. Complementing the brand-new offerings, guests can continue to enjoy traditional treatments, including therapeutic and aromatherapy massages, as well as timeless hammam rituals that reflect the spa’s holistic philosophy.
Afterwards, you can also stock up on some of the brand’s products.
It has a gorgeous indoor swimming pool
Anyone looking to trade a busy life for unadulterated bliss will not be short of ways to unwind in this well-established sanctuary. The indoor swimming pool, bathed in natural light from triple-height windows, is an instantly relaxing spot whether you just want to lounge on the surrounding day beds or get your lengths in with a dip in the temperature-controlled pool. Open to all, here you’ll also find a sauna and steam room, and gym facilities with state-of-the-art cardio equipment for invigorating workouts.
You can update your gym wardrobe
Long gone are the days when your gym kit was the least stylish part of your wardrobe. To enhance the wellness experience further, Fairmont Spa now offers a curated selection of Lululemon apparel and accessories thoughtfully designed to combine style, functionality, and comfort. There is a reason this Canadian label is one of the best-known luxury sportswear brands in the world – the quality and fit of the products speak for themselves.
Ladies can make the most of the exclusive space
Reserved for ladies from 11am to 4pm daily, this spa gives off the vibes perfect for the ultimate girls’ day out. Enjoy uninterrupted access to the indoor swimming pool, unwind with the signature Fairmont Hammam rituals, and explore a selection of bespoke treatments tailored to their individual wellness needs. You’ll leave feeling fresh enough to take on any girls’ night out if that’s what you’re up for – or ready to melt into bed if you’re 32 weeks pregnant like me. The best part? You’ll also get up to 20 per cent off at Fairmont Riyadh’s five dining outlets. It’s definitely worth saving space for a decadent dinner at one of the hotel ‘s restaurants come evening.
Give yourself the gift of some ‘me’ time
For those who fancy a regular Fairmont Spa treat, you may be interested in their tailored memberships and day passes, providing year-round access to its serene sanctuary. Your pampering sessions can soon become a weekly ritual. What’s not to love?
